AMBA CXS VIP
Simulation
Overview

SmartDV’s AMBA CXS Verification IP is built to verify high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between chiplets or accelerators and host SoCs using simulation. Fully compliant with the AMBA CXS (Coherent Express) protocol specification, it enables thorough and efficient validation of cache-coherent offload interfaces in complex heterogeneous systems.

The VIP supports major verification languages, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly with methodologies such as UVM, OVM, and VMM. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA vendors’ simulators, ensuring flexibility across diverse verification environments.

With configurable initiator and target agents, protocol checkers, scoreboards, and detailed coverage metrics, SmartDV’s AMBA CXS VIP accelerates testbench development and ensures compliance with the CXS protocol. It helps verification teams confidently validate next-generation chiplet and accelerator integration for data center, AI, and high-performance computing applications.
